Pettibone (3-0), who made his fifth start, surrendered a two-run single to Michael Brantley in the second inning for his only damage of the night. The rookie surrendered two runs and four hits over 6 2/3 innings of work. He struck out three and walked two in a 6-2 victory.
Pettibone has not allowed more than three runs in each of his first five starts. He has a 3.41 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP over that span.
The right-hander is expected to make his next start Monday at Miami. He allowed one run and five hits over 6 1/3 innings of work in his lone appearance against the Marlins on May 3.

Bailey is striking out a career-high 9.12 batters per nine innings, while displaying his usual sterling control. He has walked just 2.45 batters per nine, and has made the transition to a majority groundball pitcher, after struggling for most of his career with home runs. Generally speaking, if you strike guys out, and don't walk them or allow home runs, you're probably going to have a good time on the mound.
Bailey's improved performance has come with a faster fastball (93.3 miles per hour), as well as an increased reliance on his splitter, the type of pitch that tends to lead to more frequent groundballs. If Bailey can keep this up, the 27-year-old might just live up to his former billing as a top prospect. After a few years of middling play, Bailey is worth starting in most Fantasy formats.

Happ is "moving in the right direction," according to general manager Alex Anthopoulos.
The starter sprained his right knee as well when he suffered the head injury. Both issues are healing and everything seems to be on track.
That said, Anthopoulos said the next few days "would be telling" on Happ's rehab process goes.

Kazmir was 2-0 and had allowed just three earned runs in 12 innings in his last two starts before Tuesday's loss. He saw his ERA rise from 4.87 to 5.33.

"This is nothing other than trying to just shake our lineup up just a little bit and see if we can put some runs on the board," manager Don Mattingly told MLB.com "Matt has hit in 12 straight. Even though he hasn't hit for power yet, he's swinging the bat better."
Kemp is batting .320 (16 for 50) during his streak but his slugging percentage is just .360 during that stretch.

Sabathia (4-3) came up short in his bid to beat Felix Hernandez. The two-run homer he allowed to former teammate Raul Ibanez in the sixth inning was enough to send him to a no-decision.
The veteran ace allowed three runs -- two earned -- on 10 hits and two walks with the 10 Ks over 6 1/3 innings. He threw 112 pitches. His ERA is 3.19.
Despite going 0-1 over his last three outings, Sabathia has only allowed five earned runs over a span of 16 1/3 innings. He will make his next start Sunday versus Toronto.

Hernandez was leading 3-1 until Robinson Cano tied it with a double. The Yankees took the lead in the seventh after Hernandez left after landing awkwardly and tweaking his back. Manager Eric Wedge said the injury isn't serious and no tests are planned, the New York Daily News reported after the game.
The starter allowed just one earned run -- coming on a Lyle Overbay double in the sixth inning -- on five hits and two walks over six innings with eight strikeouts. He threw 97 pitches before leaving the game and has a 1.53 ERA.
Hernandez is 5-2 and had won four straight starts before taking the no-decision Tuesday. As long as he's healthy enough to make it, his next outing is scheduled for Sunday at Cleveland.
